Second Chances & New Beginnings..

The semester is starting out crazy & I know I haven't blogged in so long.. I'm coming into this semester with 137 small goals or resolutions, but I'm mainly trying to make it matter for Jesus. I want to solidify my major, have a better attitude, be more responsible with my money, get rid of all the "pet sins" that seem so small but affect me so much, and share Jesus with everybody I meet, just to name a few. Last semester can't be summed up anymore than to just tell you all that I lost myself. Now, I know that sounds like I went crazy, but I didn't. I DID almost completely stop my quiet time by the end of the semester. I DID stay up way too late, eat way too much, and lose any sense of discipline in my life. I did put Jesus on the back burner, and that's enough to lose myself completely. I lost my foundation and identity, because those can only be found in Christ. I'm saying all this to say that I'm determined that this semester WILL be for Him. I'm being reminded that with anything but Jesus as my basis, I'm guaranteed to fail. So this semester, I want to find a NEW assurance of what Christ wants me to do with my life. I'm an early childhood major now, but I've been thinking about changing. I know this might now make sense at all, but I feel like I don't like it enough to keep it, but I don't dislike it enough to change it. I'm praying for Jesus' perfect peace in my decision and I can't wait to see where He is leading me. I want a NEW attitude that reflects Him and His beautiful love. I want people to see Him shining through me. I want people to want Him because they see that even though, I'm a mess, He's always working! I want to be more responsible with everything, but particularly my money. I want to spend less and give more. I want to get ride of all the teeny things that don't seem like a big deal, but add up to a lot. I want to get rid of the little things that built up to get me where I was last semester. Most importantly, I want to share Jesus with  everybody I meet. I want to share His overwhelming love and grace with anybody and everybody. Thank You, Jesus for second chances & new beginnings! Love Love Love.
